The AI is just a tool. The creativity comes from the person using it. I don't see how a tool that reduces the entry level for people is somehow an infringement on creativity. If you agree that mainstream shit sucks and you have to look outside in the independent scene for good stuff, then you should support AI tools since they flatten the learning curve and lower the entry level requirements to produce art. If I'm a guy on minimum wage I cannot afford to hire a film crew and actors, much less good ones. And since the indy scene in games has also been infected by gate keepers, AI promises to cut through all of that nonsense and putting the power in the hands of a single man and his creative vision. The "slop" factor is therefore purely a result of technical limitations of the current iteration of this tech, which, quite obviously, is decreasing quickly.

I know you work in the arts. You became vocal on this issue after an increase in technical capabilities. I know you are a prog. From my perspective: Would you believe that your bashing of AI stuff in regards to the creative process is motivated by a concern for quality? Or would you assume that it's a concern that the new blood you feel superior to will get a foot in the door and make/popularize stuff you dislike? I'm going with the latter...

have you seen art lately? the artists really aren't doing themselves and favors by positioning themselves as the counterpoint to vapidness. Their shit is as formulaic as it gets due to an intolerant culture of hegemony in the arts.

At least now people can make what they want without knowing the "right people" who built an exclusionary circle of stuck up elitists, gatekeeping everyone who is not a luke-warm prog.

I can make "Gatling-Dick-Hitler" if I want on my laptop and upload it to the internet and nobodys gonna stop me.

Damn you in France too?

Having ***ed around with a Prusa mini for printed lab equipment this pic immediately sent me down autism lane. The corners of these 3d printed buildings (seen others before this) always seem to be rounded. I have noticed that when I try to print something with plastic, the flow of the hot substrate causes inner corners to always come out slightly rounded. I just now wanted to create a vial holder and remembered this problem. My first idea of how to ensure that my print matches my model was to use rounded corners to minimize "corner smudging", let's call it. Perhaps this is a combination of a common problem in 3d printing and it's common, trivial solution and the company who makes these is the same as the other buildings I saw. Now I open HL for a quick laugh and this is what I see. Is it truly coincidence or does god work in mysterious ways? Troubling...

da fu...
(what is it this time?)

Bro straight up soyfaced
